{Thank you to my friend qiuguhan for two monthly passes} When he went out, he did not encounter any interrogation, and the goatee only took out the waist card for registration, and left the dock fort safe and sound.
Everyone in the car had an incredible feeling, and the two women hugged each other and cried, neither expecting that leaving would be so easy, as if there was divine help in the dark.
In fact, this is the norm, they are too nervous, the dock fort is generally equipped with two gates, the south gate is positive, only for the head of the family and the armed forces to enter and exit, the gate is closed when not in use, the other is the small gate on the east side of the north, open during the day, closed at night, for the tenants in the fort, servants and miscellaneous servants to enter and exit, unless there is a foreign invasion, or a major change will not open day and night, and at this time the disappearance of the people has not been noticed, so it is normal to open the door, but it is not normal to open the door.
At the same time, there are tens of thousands of people living in the fort, and there are a huge number of people coming in and out every day, and they are checked one by one, not to mention whether the guards can stand it, just the time it takes, and it may not be finished until dark, not to mention the familiar faces of acquaintances, and you can know who is who by taking a look, so there is no need to check it so strictly.
It's like a city with soldiers guarding the gates, but it doesn't check the people who come in and out for no reason.
As soon as the carriage crossed the suspension bridge, the first rays of sunlight of the morning shot on the eastern horizon, and Hou Zhao urged: "Hurry up, the pursuers will come at any time." ” Wang Min, who was driving the car, nodded slightly, snapped two whips, and the carriage sped up.
Speaking of which, the Li family Wubao has a long history, claiming to inherit the Zifei general Li Guang, the head of the family Li Gong, his ancestor Li Yong and his father Li Rou have served as Taishou, and his brother Li Yi has served under the Liangzhou Zhang Rail account, and is also the eleventh ancestor of Li Shimin, it can be said that the Li family is a powerful family in the Qin Yong area.
At this time, Li Gong had just washed and was about to go to breakfast, but a relative rushed over and called out repeatedly: "Lord Lang, Lord Lang, the big thing is not good" "Why are you so flustered?"
Li Yan said unhappily.
It's no wonder that most people have the gas to get up, and Li Gong is no exception, there are subordinates shouting in front of them early in the morning, and they are inevitably unhappy.
The relatives followed the breath and said: "The two men in the guest house are missing, this morning the brothers went to change the guard, and found that the six people in the original post were missing, and after searching, their bodies were found under the bed of the people, all of whom were sealed by a short crossbow and an arrow" and then presented a bloodstained short crossbow to the front.
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Li Gong's face was pale and his body was shaky More than ten days ago, the envoy of the Qianren came secretly, not only promised a lot of profits, but also promised to maintain the status quo of the dock fort, and promised to defeat the Ming army, so that the family did not have to move to Xiangguo, but when Shihu launched the summer offensive, the Li family and other Wubao cooperated with the Dock army to outflank from the back, and should remember a great achievement, and also told Li Gong that there were more than ten dock forts in Guanzhong that they promised to be willing to be the internal response.
Not everyone has a long-term view like Wei Guozhen, and not everyone is willing to give up power and wealth, Yang Yan did not implement the land occupation system in Liangzhou, because Liangzhou is remote and barren, and he can't make a big move, and Guanzhong is different, Li Yan knows that once Yang Yan masters Guanzhong, it is imperative to occupy the land But the Ming army is powerful, he can only be false with the snake, now there is a Shi Hu envoy to contact, and got a promise not to go to Xiangguo, immediately hit the same shot, full of promises, and the messenger stayed, one is as a supervision liaison, the other is the need to communicate with Shi Hu.
"Lord Lang, what's wrong with you?"
The exclamation of his relatives made Li Gong come back to his senses, and he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and then took a closer look at the short arrow, the arrow was three inches long, and it was used as a standard arrow for the army, such as his dock fort can rarely have a crossbow, basically with bows and arrows, no need to think about it, it must have been the Ming army mixed in and robbed the two people.
How did the Ming army sneak into the fort and not out of hijacking the servants who went out of the fort to do business, and lure the wolf into the house, Li Gong regretted and hated, knowing that the current situation was tense, why not strengthen the investigation Li Gong didn't care about the investigation for the time being, turned his head and shouted: "The people have been robbed, the thieves should have taken advantage of the opening of the fort gate in the early morning to get out, and they must not go far, and they will send an order to launch a cavalry detachment in the fort to chase, a team of 100 people, scattered search, especially in the direction of Chang'an, if you can't bring back the Qianren, kill them on the spot."
"No" Walk away.
Li Gong's heart was in turmoil, he knew the disastrous consequences of the people being brought back to Chang'an, he couldn't help but shudder, and shouted: "Come here, send the heads of each house to come to discuss matters" Outside the house, the sound of hurried footsteps dispersed in all directions.
After a while, the heads of the Li family's rooms came one after another, some paced slowly, with a bird cage in their hands, some yawned all the way, their faces were full of uncertainties, and some were disheveled, muttering something in their mouths.
Li Yan is anxious and angry, mother, all of them look leisurely, and a catastrophe is about to happen at home.
Under the pressure of annoyance, after everyone walked into the hall to salute in turn, Li Gong said bluntly: "A major incident happened in the fort last night, and the people were forcibly captured by the spies mixed in by the Ming army."
With a bang, the hall exploded, and the original leisurely and lazy atmosphere disappeared in an instant "How should this be, my family is going to be in trouble."
"I hope that General Zu Fei will bless him and bring back the Ming army spies and people" "Hmph, there must be someone who colludes with the Ming army, we must strictly investigate, kill one and make an example, and set an example."
Looking at the panicked room chiefs below, Li Gong's heart rose with inexplicable irritability, and he was talking nonsense there Li Gong pressed his hands and said with a calm face: "The old man has sent someone to hunt down, but it is only sixty miles away from my house to Weicheng, once the Ming army and spies escape from Weicheng, the consequences are unimaginable, we must make the worst plan, if you have a countermeasure, say it, the situation is urgent, I hope to speak freely, don't keep it" One person arched his hand: "Lord Lang, since we have sent troops to chase after us, it is useless for us to be in a hurry, we can only wait for the news to come, but the traitor who hooked up with the Ming army must be found, this is worth it, there are thieves who eat inside and outside, and it is cheaper to dip in the pig cage."
Li Gong was angry again, and he rushed to the top of his head, telling you to think of countermeasures, what is this talking about the donkey's head is not the horse's mouth, he immediately took a deep breath, and said angrily: "The traitor wants to investigate, this matter is up to you, since the arrival of the people from the fort, all the cars that left the fort must be investigated, and the last three days are even more important, especially the deacons in charge of each house, if there is any suspicion, they will be arrested and tortured first."
But the problem is that the Ming army spies have fled, and if they can't be chased back, the Ming army will come to attack, how should my family deal with it at that time?"
There was silence for a while, and after a short while, a cold snort came: "Even if the Ming army comes to attack, how can my fort wall be high and thick, and the grain and grass are sufficient, how can it support for several months, don't forget, at most two months, Guanzhong will have a lot of heavy rain, and then the king of Zhongshan and the lord of Zhao will make a big move, and the siege of my house will be solved, maybe when the Ming army retreats, it can be covered for a while, so my house should be high ditch and deep fortress."
Guarded" "Inappropriate" Another person objected: "The Ming army has artillery shells, extremely sharp, the defeat of Zhongshan Wang Jianzhang Palace is the defeat of fire bombs, if the Ming army attacks with this, how can my family defend" As soon as these words came out, the buzz in the hall started again, and Li Gong also frowned tightly into a Sichuan shape, and asked downward: "Do you have a magic way to break the Ming army's fireballs?"
Everyone looked at each other, even Shi Hu didn't have a problem, what could he do for a long time before one of them was unsure and said: "Lord Lang, use cavalry to go out of the fort to assault, or you can take it by surprise." ” Li Yan was almost about to jump to scold his mother, his face was difficult to see, isn't this nonsense, there are only three thousand cavalry in the fort, and there are tens of thousands of Ming troops Others also thought of this and retorted one after another.
Another person hesitated: "With the strength of my family's fort, there is really no chance of victory, it is better to send a good debater to tell other families, and at the same time send someone to ask the King of Zhongshan to send troops to contain the Ming army." ” Li Yan shook his head without thinking: "From my house to Chang'an, the light cavalry is only three hours, even if the Ming King sends troops tomorrow, he will come within a day or two, when do you think the reinforcements will arrive, as for the rescue of the King of Zhongshan, it is even more nonsense, the two armies are facing each other with hundreds of thousands of horses, and there is no sixty or seventy percent certainty that the battle will start lightly, how can the King of Zhongshan forcibly attack the Ming army for my family" The hall fell into a cold field again, after all, the distance gap in strength is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
"It's just that we can't wait for death" Seeing that no one offered any more advice, Li Gong almost roared and urged.
After a long time, only one person arched his hand: "Lord Lang, if the Ming army comes to attack, my family will be invincible, the old man did not agree with the collusion of the thief, but the person is soft-spoken, Lord Lang can't listen, for today's plan, I can only take advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not yet arrived, please go to Chang'an to ask the king of Ming to ask for guilt, maybe the king of Ming can still be guilty of the family, please don't hesitate to master Lang." ” "You" Li Gong was furious, this is to push himself out as a scapegoat Another voice of approval came: "This is also a way in the middle of the road, although it is a grievance to the lord of Lang" As he was talking, the voice suddenly paused, and the strong killing intent in Li Gong's eyes made him dumbfounded, and he hurriedly changed his words: "We are in a hurry here, maybe the sons and daughters sent out have already succeeded, so you might as well wait." ” The hall was completely silent, no one had a move, Li Gong's sharp gaze swept one by one, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.
Li Gong suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, he could kill one or two Liwei, but all the house chiefs had the intention of pushing him out as a substitute for the dead ghost, he couldn't kill all the people, so if he didn't wait for the Ming army to attack, the family would fall apart first.
"Hey" Li Gong sighed: "Okay, as limited to this time tomorrow, if there is no news coming, let's make other plans, and you all think about what else can save my family, let's disperse." ” "I'll quit" With a meaningful look in his eyes, the head of each room arched his hand one after another and left the table
